Height of status bar in Android [duplicate]

Answer 1

Toggled Fullscreen Solution:

This solution may look like a workaround, but it actually accounts for whether your app is fullscreen (aka hiding the status bar) or not:

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point(); display.getSize(size);
int barheight = size.y - findViewById(R.id.rootView).getHeight();

This way, if your app is currently fullscreen, barheight will equal 0.

Personally I had to use this to correct absolute TouchEvent coordinates to account for the status bar as so:

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View view,MotionEvent event) {
    Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point(); display.getSize(size);
    int YCoord = (int)event.getRawY() - size.y + rootView.getHeight());
}

And that will get the absolute y-coordinate whether the app be fullscreen or not.
